If there were any doubts that A24, the media company behind Everything Everywhere All at Once and other Oscar nominees, is the top independent film studio, they could be vanquished at Sunday’s Academy Awards.

The closely held distributor and producer heads to the awards with 18 nominations in total — the most of any single studio brand. They include 11 for Everything Everywhere, the favorite to win best picture, according to the website GoldDerby.com.
